5 Star reviews! (No spoilers)

[ScruffyLookingNH]

Just read the first couple of paragraphs of the BBC News site. The Daily Telegraphs and The Times have both given it 5 Stars!!!

I didn't dare read any further in case there were spoilers but it's all looking good

It's looking good. Will it pass my own purist-curmudgeon test - we'll see very soon.

Seemingly word on the street is that it was largely loved by those who saw it. A couple of comments were made along the lines of if you love Star Wars you are in for a treat.

Norways biggest newspaper: 3/6
2nd biggest: 5/6
3rd: Star Wars is home!

 

[tundra9]

Rottentomatoes: 97%
Metacritic: 83%
Ign: 8,8/10

Looks like most early reviews are raving!

Oh ****.

 

[Stronghold]

Not going in to details, as I've just flown back and have another viewing on Thursday.
But 4/5 sits about right.

 

[BlueDog]

Just got home from watching a midnight screening here in OZ. I won't say anymore.

 

[Mr-shifter]

****, I'm excited now.

7 ****ing hours till Star Wars is back! 7 hours!

 

[Grant_C]

Feel sick mate.

I wonder if the trolls will still hate a film they have never seen if worldwide consensus is that its great? :? :lol:

Grant,

With all due respect bud, you cant go around saying things like that. Im assuming that was meant for the likes of Ian and myself who dont have any interest. If it wasnt meant like that, i apologise. Ive said it would break records all along, because the hype and run up has been like nothing this world has ever seen.

On another note, my lad came home from school today asking if we are going he has been mad on Marvel for the past few months but Star Wars has been the talk of the school playground this week. Whether i like if or not, i have to take him. I said i wouldnt be going but i cant let him down....

Anyway, enjoy yourself and have a great night.

I think with all due respect to you too Lee; Grant can say what he wants - just as much as you can and have Lee!

The difference here Lee is that he's referring to us as "trolls", where _Lee_ and myself have not referred to you guys as "sheep" or any other derogatory term.

I can't reply much yet without spoilers, but I have read several of the reviews, and the points that are being praised right now are going to turn around and be the source of contempt once the hype and excitement goes down. I'm referring to plot, not effects, acting, etc. And of course, not everyone will see it that way. Some will love it regardless.

I also agree, it has a shot at breaking the opening weekend record. The presale thing matters not one bit, since half of that $100 million is for opening weekend. It only means $50 or so has been sold for this weekend. Still needs $150 million or more for the record from people who didn't bother to buy tickets in advance. It just means one statistic that it now holds a record for, and I'll give credit where it's due for that.
